Chapter 33 |
| 1 | Rejoice in the
LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright. |
| 2 | Praise the
LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten
strings. |
| 3
| Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud
noise. |
| 4 |
For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done
in truth. |
| 5
| He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full
of the goodness of the LORD. |
|
6 | By the word of the LORD were the
heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. |
| 7 |
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth
in storehouses. |
|
8 | Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the
inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. |
| 9 | For he spake,
and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. |
| 10 | The LORD
bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the
people of none effect. |
| 11 | The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever,
the thoughts of his heart to all generations. |
| 12 | Blessed is
the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his
own inheritance. |
|
13 | The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the
sons of men. |
|
14 | From the place of his habitation he looketh upon
all the inhabitants of the earth. |
| 15 | He fashioneth their hearts
alike; he considereth all their works. |
| 16 | There is no king saved by the
multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
|
| 17 | An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his
great strength. |
|
18 | Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear
him, upon them that hope in his mercy; |
| 19 | To deliver their soul from
death, and to keep them alive in famine. |
|
20 | Our soul waiteth for the
LORD: he is our help and our shield. |
| 21 | For our heart shall rejoice
in him, because we have trusted in his holy name. |
| 22 | Let thy
mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. |
